Notes[edit]

Why are so many of the Templates filed under "T", but not all of them? --Lph 17:44, 13 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Templates not filed under "T" specified a sort key for the category. It would be nice if all of the maintenance templates used a sort key as sorting on "Template" is not useful. This should be easy to accomplish with a bot, so I added a request. -- Doug Bell (talk/contrib) 03:47, 15 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Done. – Doug Bell ^{talk•contrib} 19:10, 25 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Newinfobox has a word "subst'ed" that should be changed to something more widely and easily understood. --Rtdrury 09:35, 2 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I linked the word to Wikipedia:subst. —Doug Bell ^{talk•contrib} 13:10, 2 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Most maintenance templates should be placed on the talk page[edit]

Please see Wikipedia talk:Template standardisation/article#Most maintenance templates should be placed on the talk page. To stop discussions spreading over many pages, if you wish to contribute an opinion on this issue please do so in that section. --PBS 08:59, 11 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Multiple tags[edit]

What's the template for consolidating a whole bunch of maintenance tags? I know I've seen it before, where you just have one ordinary size box and a scroller with all the specific ones it it, but I can't logically navigate to it for some reason. -Theanphibian ^{(talk • contribs)} 03:33, 18 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Never mind, I found it at the articleissues template. -Theanphibian ^{(talk • contribs)} 04:03, 18 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Maintenance vs clean up[edit]

Use both these words is confusing. They mean pretty much the same thing, however, they are both used in slightly different ways. Based on how Wikipedia:Template messages is organized "maintenance" deals with things like under construction and uncategorized articles whereas "clean up" is about the actual content of the articles. Which I think is a good, but these category don't make that distinction. I think they should match to help avoid confusion. Any suggestions? Rocket000 00:35, 10 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
